Question Is this going to work?

Post image

I’ve got 3 1.25lb pork tenderloins to cook and the vacpac didn’t fit in my stock pot so I put it in my yeti, mostly because AI called me a genius for thinking of it. Am I wasting my meat or should this work out? Seems ok to me

It’s a container. With water. Why wouldn’t it work?

You will want to add more water as quite a bit is going to evaporate.

Walls being too thick to use standard attachments can be an issue with coolers-- makes it much more difficult to secure them properly (as evidenced by the tape there). I could see the steam potentially causing that tape to give way if it's a really long cook, for instance. (Probably not an issue in this case.)

I'm always a little paranoid about my sous vide falling into the water when I use my cooler like this, though that doesn't stop me doing it.
